I heard a voice, deep husky voice that was familiar. It was as if I had heard it a million times, distorted images played in my mind like broken show. Everything started coming to me at once that I couldn’t process it. I started gasping for air, I felt as if I was drowning, as if someone was forcefully blocking my intake of air. Panic rose through my chest, sweat broke through my body, a chilled feeling took hold of my body like a blanket. But suddenly a voice soothed all of that feeling. I couldn’t see, nor move  but I heard. A voice, so serene that calmed my heart and body. 

All I heard was him, calling my name.

“ Scarlet.”a soft whisper,barely audible but I heard. After that everything went silent and blackness took me to a deep deep sleep.

I woke up to  bright light and a smell of disinfectant. There was still a faint ringing in my ear. My vision was still blurred and I was full on panicking which probably alerted whoever they were to slap on my face.

What the Fuck?

“ Shit! OMG you can’t die on me now, Scar. You just can’t. I wont let you leave us. You dumb bitch, wake up RIGHT NOW!”

“FUCKKK!” my panicking subsided momentary because apparently someone else was panicking more than me and it was making me panic even more.

“I am up! I AM UP!” it was of no use because Sophia was still full on crying talking about me being buried somewhere I have no idea.

This girl needed a good smack and that’s exactly what I did. Smacked her right across her face,

With a startle, her eyes widen and she looked at me, “You are awake? YOU ARE AWAKE? HOW DARE YOU? HOW FUCKING DARE YOU GIVE US ALL A SCARE LIKE THAT SCARLET EDEN MORRISON? HOW DARE YOU…..” before she could finish, a hand closed her mouth. 

God some peace finally.

“Are you alright, scar? Do you need anything? I already asked for the doctor but is you need anything you can..” Sierra was mother hening on me.

“I am fine, Si. Just having a headache from this bitch screaming my ear off” I pointedly glare towards Sophia who thankfully have gone silent.

Moving Sierra’s hand aside, Sophia heaved a sigh and gave me a bone crashing hug. 

“I was afraid ok, you bitch. What the hell am I supposed to do? Some guy called me in the middle of the night and said you were in hospital. I was scared shitless. You have been out from yesterday. A whole fucking day and none of us know why. The doctors says its because of a shock or something. We just panicked and fuck, you scared us scar.” her voice trembled. Something wet touched my shoulder and I knew she was crying. Sophia rarely cried , she was the girl that was always portrayed that she was the strongest but on the inside she was the most sensitive. Having her cry on me was a punch in the gut not that I know how that would be  but I think it would be similar.

Tightening my hold on her, my voice trembling, I said, “I am sorry, Soph. I don’t remember much of what happened yesterday. You know I am not going to leave you guys with my babies right? For the love of God, you can’t bake for your life and poor River and poorer Sierra. I am not gonna go anywhere soon and don’t even think about taking Whiskers. She is my cat.” a laugh bubbled out of her and Sierra who was cleaning her tear stricken face. 

“Come here, doll face. I think I need an extra pair of hands aside from this one.” I opened my arms bigger for Sierra to fit in. With a soft smile she hugged me, both of them snuggling towards me.

“its the second time I caught you guys hugging without me.” an amused River made his way towards us. 

“Well she is our bitch. You got your own bitch.” Sophia retorted, her face still against my chest.

“You jealous, Soph?” River teased while making her way towards my bed.

“HA, you wish. I was born to die single sweetheart. No one can handle my beautiful, sassy ass.” and being the childish women that she was, she stuck her tongue out towards River.

All of us laughed at Sophia. She really was a women child as all of us like to call her. 

“Yeah well, you are a child so no sane man would want your childish ass.” River countered back, holding me close to his chest.

A sudden blaze light in Sophia moss green eyes, “You wanna say that infront of me, baker boy?” she taunted,

“Uhh. Nope. I am good.” river said while mouthing Save me towards me.

“You come here pretty boy and I will…” before she could complete, a knock sounded on the door. River went and opened the door only to find a doctor with a man I never saw. The doctor and the man made their way inside where I was on the bed. A silence spread in the room. Seems like we all forgot we were in the hospital. Opps

“Hello, Ms.Scarlet. How are you feeling now? I am Doctor Tyler. Nice to meet you.” Dr.Tyler seemed like he was in late forties. A kind smile spread across his face, reminding me of Heather.

“ Hey, doc. I am feeling well now, just have a little headache that’s all. And nice to meet you as well.” I said politely.

“ It’ll be fine. Just you have to take care of yourself and there is something I would like to speak to you about but I don’t know if you would want me to say it here infront of your friends or privately.” Dr.Tyler asked, making me confused. Sierra clutched my hands tightly. 

“You can speak freely infront of my friends. They are family.”I said.

“It seems that the reason why you fainted yesterday was because of emotional suppression. From the MRI result, I was able to see a wounded part on hippocampus. Yesterday when you were trying to remember, it caused a pressure on your brain and thus that was why your body shut down.”

“My what?I don’t think I get what you are trying to say.” I didn’t understand what was going on.

“It seems like you had an accident in your past that caused a damaged to your brain and some of your memories are suppressed. That was why you fainted.” 

An accident? When the hell did that happen. Suddenly I remember what happen yesterday clearly. James Dumas telling me that he knew me and my brother,Jasper. Oh God. The picture wasn’t complete. There was still many things James was hiding from me and I didn’t know if I wanted to know all of them.
